Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 271: Gu Chen Takes Action! Sending Zhou Wenjing to Prison!
The prosecutor thought for a moment...
This case, no matter what, Zhou Wenjing is highly suspicious.
Why not request an adjournment and then investigate the evidence!
This is a murder case, it definitely needs a thorough investigation!
The prosecutor looked at the presiding judge, Lin Zhong, and said, "Your Honor, I request an adjournment of this case to investigate the evidence. Zhou Wenjing is highly suspected of committing the crime in this case, and it involves a human life, so we must find the evidence!"
Presiding judge Lin Zhong glanced at the prosecutor and said, "The request for adjournment is denied. This case has not yet established itself as a murder case. So far, there is not enough evidence to prove Zhou Wenjing is a suspect. If there were enough evidence to prove Zhou Wenjing is a suspect and the facts were not fully investigated, then the court would consider adjournment."
"This is already the highest court of the land. Without sufficient evidence, this court cannot determine that Zhou Wenjing intentionally committed murder, nor will it adjourn to investigate evidence."
"This court will make a judgment on the divorce case based on the plaintiff Wang Zhihao’s lawsuit request and the evidence submitted by the plaintiff’s lawyer."
The meaning of the presiding judge was very clear.
That is, this case will not be adjourned.
An adjournment would only occur if there were irrefutable evidence proving Zhou Wenjing intentionally murdered someone!
Only because the complete picture of the case is not fully investigated, would there be an adjournment then.
But currently, there is no direct evidence to prove Zhou Wenjing committed murder.
The evidence submitted thus far only indicates Zhou Wenjing has the suspicion of murder.
So the court here did not support the prosecution’s request.
From the beginning to now, Gu Chen hadn’t said a single word.
Neither Xue Qingqing nor Wang Zhihao spoke.
The prosecutor was getting a bit anxious.
He felt there was something fishy about this case.
But if the court does not allow an adjournment now, isn’t it impossible to pursue Zhou Wenjing’s criminal liability?
If no investigation is conducted now, it is estimated that there will be no investigation in the future either.
What to do?
The prosecutor’s eyes lit up!
There’s still a way!
The police should have already interrogated Zhou Wenjing’s ex-boyfriend, Tian Xinyu!
As long as the interrogation results are obtained...
If the interrogation results are different from what Zhou Wenjing said in court, then this case can be investigated!
With inconsistent testimonies, the court can adjourn, and then the police over there can gather evidence.
The prosecutor said, "As far as I know, the police should be interrogating Tian Xinyu now, and the interrogation results should be out soon."
And at this moment, the court had already received the police-provided transcripts.
After the police interrogated Tian Xinyu...
Tian Xinyu revealed the whole story.
And the whole story...was exactly the same as what Zhou Wenjing said!
Presiding judge Lin Zhong stated, "The police interrogated Tian Xinyu, and the results are exactly the same as what Zhou Wenjing said."
All the netizens were a bit incredulous when they heard this news.
The results of what both of them said are exactly the same?
This happened five years ago....
It’s surprising both of them would say exactly the same thing.
The key is that this was something that happened five years ago; both Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu said there were many things they couldn’t remember from five years ago.
The police are also at a dead end.
If there is no more direct evidence...then Zhou Wenjing cannot be convicted.
[It’s over, it’s over, did these two exchange their testimonies?]
[Who knows, it’s hard to say. I feel it’s a bit problematic that Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu’s statements are exactly the same.]
[It seems like there’s no way to convict Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu now...]
[Is this case just going to end like this?]
[Seems like it, without direct evidence showing Zhou Wenjing committed murder, you can only suspect. The key is the court won’t allow an adjournment, so there’s nothing you can do.]
[So did Lawyer Gu lose this case? He wanted to send someone in, but he failed....]
[There’s nothing to be done, it’s something from five years ago, battery explosion... How can you prove Zhou Wenjing and Tian Xinyu intentionally wanted the battery to explode?]
...
Gao Yong said, "Gu Chen is confused; without concrete evidence, he shouldn’t accuse Zhou Wenjing of murder. Now that the accusation failed, he’s putting himself in danger."
Gao Yong was a bit anxious.
It’s very clear now that the evidence is insufficient.
Even if Gu Chen caught onto some evidence...he shouldn’t publicly challenge Zhou Wenjing like this.
Everyone wants to send Zhou Wenjing in...but the law requires evidence.
Gao Yong said, "The main thing is Zhou Wenjing has no motive. What benefit does she gain from killing Wang Zhihao’s father, Wang Feng?"
"Wang Zhihao’s father, Wang Feng, is the only child, so all assets would likely go to Wang Zhihao, who then hands in his salary, meaning the money is all Zhou Wenjing’s... Why would she set her own house on fire? Isn’t she the biggest loser in that scenario?"
"Killing Wang Feng does not benefit Zhou Wenjing in any way, so this motive is not established even if there is suspicious activity; it’s unlikely that Zhou Wenjing will be convicted based on this alone."
"So...realistically, Gu Chen is going to lose this case."
Gao Yong felt some disappointment.
He thought that if Gu Chen was aiming for the death penalty for Zhou Wenjing, there must be evidence. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
But now it seems Gu Chen is acting too hastily.
Gu Chen very much wants to conclusively get Zhou Wenjing the death penalty.
Now...the evidence is insufficient....
Thinking of this, Gao Yong dialed the director of the Fangda Law Firm, Xue Yaoting.
Gao Yong said, "Director, are you aware of the case Gu Chen is handling? I feel Gu Chen is at risk this time; he’s accusing someone of murder, but now with insufficient evidence, he might end up going to jail."
Gao Yong said, "If that’s the case, I’ll go help Gu Chen with the lawsuit. If I step in, Gu Chen should be fine, at most his reputation might take a hit, but that’s beyond our control."
Xue Yaoting chuckled and said, "Is that so? Don’t worry... just wait until the lawsuit is over before discussing anything else."
Gao Yong was a bit restless seeing the director remaining calm.
Gu Chen is supposed to be the director’s future son-in-law.
Is he really not worried at all?
At this moment...
Zhou Wenjing revealed a smile.
Zhou Wenjing looked at the lawyer Han Jingjing beside her and said, "Lawyer Han, the opposing lawyer, in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers on the livestream, defamed me, spread rumors, and offered false evidence, causing netizens to abuse me. What criminal liability should he bear?"
Han Jingjing said, "Slander, defamation, invasion of your right to reputation, and you should also receive compensation for emotional distress."
Zhou Wenjing said, "Then I must have Gu Chen compensate me! This is outrageous! How dare he want to sentence me to death! Now, unless Gu Chen pays me five million in damages for emotional distress, I will not sign the letter of understanding!"
Zhou Wenjing thought for a moment and raised her hand.
"Your Honor!"
"I accuse Gu Chen now! Gu Chen has caused harm to me!!"
Gu Chen glanced at Zhou Wenjing.
From just now till now...
He hadn’t said a word.
Did Zhou Wenjing already think she had secured a win in this lawsuit?
